The Exarchate of French Albania

“Droit au but”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Exarchate of French Albania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Seraphin Makroleon with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, vat-grown people, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 20.804 billion Arbanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agde. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arbanian economy, worth an astonishing 11,826 trillion freks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 568,455 freks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. French Albania's national animal is the Kairosean Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Massilian Mysteries.

French Albania is ranked 444^th in the world and 3^rd in Wintreath for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,224.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
